NAIME Arithmancy Mini Challenge

Assignment:

August 14-22 Arithmancy is the study of numbers, how they interrelate and the patterns created by specific sequences. Often one thinks of large complex charts when the subject is approached, however, with this mini challenge we will focus on one the simple aspects. We will only be changing one variable and compare the results. For this practical challenge we will be ::gasp:: swatching. Using the same yarn & stitch pattern & only changing the size needles used, make at least two 4x4inch swatches. Each set MUST have at least 2 swatches in the same yarn, same pattern, but using different sized needles/hooks. (Larger swatches may be made, 4x4 is the minimum size accepted.) When turning in your challenge pieces, please include information on yarn, needle sizes used, stitch pattern, the stitches per inch obtained, and Rows per inch. (The usual information you should note when swatching!)

Pattern:
Row 1: SC in each chain across, ch 1 turn.
Row 2: Sc in first stitch, Treble crochet in next. Continue alternating across in each stitch. ch 1 turn.
Row 3: 1 sc in each stitch across, ch 1 turn.
Repeate rows 2 and 3 until desired size.

NAIME Care of Magical Creatures August 2009

Assignment:

We will be learning about merpeople.

As some of you know, these magical, mysterious creatures refused the “Being” status in favor of “Beast” for they would not be in the same classification as Hags and Vampires (and who could blame them?).

Merpeople live underwater but can breathe above for a period of time. They talk Mermish, which can be spoken by very few wizards. They also love music and keep Grindylows as pets.

Sirens, selkies and Merrows are all considered merpeople. Sirens are the most commonly known, even among muggles. That is because they are very pleasing to the eye.

For your assignment, students should knit, crochet or spin:

• Something related to the sea.
